UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – Having already supplied a wide assortment of weapons to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict in the region, the United States may now be poised to supply the regime in Kiev with widely-banned cluster munitions.
The United States supplying cluster munitions to the Kiev regime is another step to heightening the crisis, Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said on Thursday.
“That’s another step toward escalating the conflict,” Nebenzia said during a press briefing.
Earlier, it was reported that the US may approve the provision of cluster munitions to Ukraine as soon as this week. Under US law, President Joe Biden must sign a presidential waiver to authorize the export of these controversial munitions, which drop bomblets that can endanger civilians for years.
Meanwhile, US-based Human Rights Watch has urged for an end to the use of cluster munitions in the Ukrainian conflict and demanded that the United States reject Kiev’s call for more of these indiscriminate weapons on Thursday.
“If the goal of this support is a free Ukraine, where children can grow up in safety and security – where they can run through the fields and forests like children should be able to do everywhere – then using cluster munitions is not the way to get there,” Human Rights Watch said…
Well, obviously, our Communist regime is gonna do whatever it takes to get a nuclear WW3 off the ground.
